Robert Burns
(1759 - 1796) Born in Alloway in South Ayrshire in 1759, the son of a farmer, Scotland's national bard was the eldest of seven children. At this time Scotland was probably the most literate country in Europe and as a result Robert was well read and educated, despite regarding himself as a simple tenant farmer.
